8 Upcoming Video Games You Are NOT Ready For
1. Every "Triple A" Title On Launch Day
Now, this might seem like a horrendous cop-out, but honestly how many times are we as a collective gaming community going to have our hype utterly derailed by the day one experience of most modern Triple A titles?
Horrendous install times, Day One Patches on top of the prolonged wait, bugs, glitches, and all manner of issues that prevent us from actually enjoying the game we've spent nearly a hundred bones in order to play. This is, unfortunately, becoming the norm more and more, and quite frankly it's both absolutely unacceptable and downright ridiculous in how we convince ourselves that "maybe this game won't suck at launch" as we save for the next experience that will do just that.
Cyberpunk, Street Fighter Five, Fallout 76, Battlefield 2042, and so many more big named, big budget titles have big bombed in recent memory right out of the gate and the only shock and surprise generated from these Day One skip fires has been just how many ways they can be utterly broken. Of course, the publishers care not at this point, they've already got their money off you via pre-orders and trailer-hyped sales, and as long as they promise that a "fix is incoming" they'll buy enough time to get things in a working state a few weeks or months down the line.
It's a gross practice that shows little sign of slowing and yet we'll never be truly ready for how totally not ready some of these games were to hit the marketplace.
